Wig with flex-grip base and components for protection against hair damage

ABSTRACT

The device is a lightweight stretchable mesh base wig that provides full hair coverage and protection of a wearer&#39;s natural hair via an anti-skid system that securely holds the wig in a comfortable grip position without the use of adhesive, metal or non-porous plastic components. The wig device has a fixed micro hair-part for reducing manufacturing time and cost especially when the device is made of natural or human hair. The device has an anti-stress nape hair component that prevents tension and stress on a wearer&#39;s head and on the hair wefts at the lower back of the wig. The components are configured to allow the wig to be natural looking and highly undetectable and at low cost.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application is a continuation-in-part of application Ser. No.13/185,073 filed 18 Jul. 2011 Publication US2013/0019889A1 Jan. 24,2013.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Technical Field

The new invention relates to a residual class for devices and methodsused by persons in making their personal grooming and hygiene. The fieldincludes closely related professional devices and methods for treatingor grooming hair; which includes wig-making processes. The new inventionalso relates to devices on which the wearer's false hair is supported.

2. Background Art

U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 was devised to provide a remedy of:“a highly undetectable, easy to acquire, good self-retention, easy tomanufacture and low cost hairpiece especially those made with human hair. . . ” (Original Specification Page 2-3 Sec 009; State Of the Art line3-5) “It also address the shortcomings of patented related prior art byproviding a stretchable fabric base device that stays in place withoutthe need for any attachments; adhesives, clips, sew-on connections orabrasive hard surfaces.” (Original Specification, Brief Disclosure ofInvention Page 6: Line 1-3) “The preferred embodiment has narrowanti-skid reinforcement tabs along the periphery band with alternatestretch space between each tab to create a flexible grip pattern ofarrangement. (Original Specification, Sec 022; Detailed Description ofInvention Page 9: item #12). “The preferred embodiment has the wefts atthe forehead and crown slanted towards the font from both left and rightdirection, overlaid by a piece of weft positioned to form a uniformlynarrow opening. The preferred embodiment uses the narrow opening at theforehead and crown area to form a micro open permanent hair part thatpresents imitation scalp with hair growth. The preferred method toimplant the strands of hair for the embodiments with the imitation scalpis by a method known as knotting or ventilating. The preferred way toform the micro open permanent hair part is to permanently secure thefirst row of implanted hair that overlays the edge of the weft. By usinga zigzag stitch line the same color as the implanted hair as a means todo so, the edges of the hair wefts are hidden. The hair part is lessprone to be exposed by hair movement and subsequent implanted row(s)easily camouflage as scalp with hair growth.” (Original Specification,Page 8, Detailed Description of Invention, Sec 022 item #7 to # 10)

U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers device is the onlylightweight mesh base wig device with a component that provide sustainedhigh self-retention capacity that keeps a lightweight structure in placewith no adhesive, no metal, no plastic or non-porous components and byso doing protect a wearer's hair from damage those harmful elements.“Hard and heavy elements that rest continuously on the head and scalpcan cause friction on the head, fatigue from the weight, discomfort andeven hair loss” (Original Specification Page 3, Background of theInvention, Sec 011: line 7-9) Other prior art devices either had harmfulcomponents or had no viable means to support a soft stretchable meshbase. For example related prior art Molinario U.S. Pat. No. 3,835,867has a soft stretchable mesh base with no adhesive, no metal, plastic ornon-porous components but the device has no means of support to preventa soft stretchable base from reclining and turning up. Related prior artU.S. Pat. No. 4,949,7376 issued to Nakamura has antiskid component butuses metal that could damage a wearer's hair and cause scalp irritation,Nakamura recites: “A wig having a shape retaining element for preventingturning-up, distortion and so on of a wig base”. (Abstract Disclosure:line 1) “Here the shape memory alloy applicable to the invention is analloy” . . . of copper, zinc and aluminum (Column 5: line 15-23). U.S.Pat. No. 6,584,983 issued to Jerome Nicot and Nicole Denelle: A wig orhairpiece having a flexible antislip system . . . ; the thin drawablefilm being arranged on a surface of the drawable fabric which contactsthe skin on a user's head when the wig or hairpiece is positioned on auser's head” Nicot anti-slip component on the device is plastic andworks when placed directly onto a hairless scalp, while thefunctionality of the device of application Ser. No. 13/185,073Palmer-Rogers is not dependent on the stage of hair growth or loss nordoes it need a skin area for the functionality of the anti-skid element.The invention protects the natural hair of the wearer from damage causedby prior art retention components which includes adhesive of for exampleprior art Palumbo et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,359 which states that thedevice is a: “hairpiece reducing the contact of adhesive used to securethe hairpiece to the head of the user. (Abstract disclosure: line 6)Palumbo device reduces adhesive not eliminate the use of adhesive. Allother prior art devices with a lightweight stretchable mesh base eitherhad no viable means to hold the wig in place or the devices had metal,hard plastic, non-porous material or adhesives as a means of anti-skidand retention.

In addition U.S. application Ser. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers is alsothe only device having a time saving fixed or permanent micro hair-partwith imitation scalp presentation for human hair; “It allows thepredominant use of pre-made hair wefts to keep manufacturing time andcost low.” (Original Specification, Page 6-7; Advantageous Effects ofthe Invention item #6) “The hair part is only a small fraction of aninch wide, so narrow it requires only as little as two lines of knottedhair. Producing a natural looking hairpiece in a fraction of the time ittakes to produce prior art of comparable appearance with imitationscalp” (Original Specification: Abstract Disclosure: Line 8-11) The hairpart component provides a more natural looking up to date hair stylethan crown configuration of prior art devices for example the cyclone orspiral hair arrangement as in U.S. Patent Number 20040168696 issued toMary J. Cox: (paragraph 49) and in U.S. Pat. No. 3,788,332 issued toDominic C, Abbott (Abstract Disclosure: line 11) wherein hair wefts arearranged in a spiral, cyclone or radial position at the crown area.Spiraling hair wefts restricts the length and type of hair that can beused and hairstyles that can be created. Another issue with spiraling isthat hair wefts are placed very closely together to hide the edges ofthe hair weft, thus restricting ventilation. Palmer-Rogers U.S.application Ser. No. 13/185,073 not only provides a more natural lookingundated device but also provides better ventilation at the crown area.

Another crown configuration on prior art devices is for example theside-to-side weft arrangement as on prior art Molinario U.S. Pat. No.3,835,867; “As shown in FIG. 1, the net 12 of the cap 10 may comprise afrontal zone 15 in which the zones 12 and 14 are situated so as to passfrom side to side above the head” (Column 2: Line 16-19). The side toside weft placement creates hair styles with raised hair at the crown;hairstyles that were popular in the year 1974 when Molinario's patentwas issued. Molinario's device does not provide a crown arrangement thatimitate natural hair styles of this generation. Women's hairstyles forlonger hair today have a sleeker look with hair part at the front thatis either center or side oriented. No prior art provided a low costremedy to produce a natural looking device of U.S. application Ser. No.13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers invention.

The micro open permanent hair part of U.S. application Ser. No.13/185,073 specifically reduces manufacturing time and cost particularlyof devices made of natural hair that requires hand knotting processcommonly called ventilation: “The more area of the base that is coveredby wefts the less time consuming and costly is the manufacturedhairpiece or wig. The new invention takes advantage of that fact butpresent a new and useful more attractive method to conceal the edge ofthe hair wefts at the forehead section. The new method is the micro openpermanent hair part. This hair part described and illustrated uses onlya fraction of an inch of knotted or implanted hair to cover the edges ofthe exposed wefts. Producing a natural looking device in a fraction ofthe time it takes to produce prior art of comparable appearance.”(Original Specification Page 5; Brief Disclosure of the InventionSec.018: Line 8-15). It is common knowledge in the art that many humanhair wigs are often completed manually by a process called knotting orventilation because certain length and textures of human hair cannot beventilated by machines, as a result of this limitation, human hair wigsof variable length and texture are scarce and costly. Prior art Nakamuradiscloses that hair strands are connected over the entire base; “amultiplicity of hairs are implanted to a convex outer surface of a wigbase” (Column 2: line 46). Prior art Palumbo teaches; “individual hairsforming the hairpiece are affixed to the cross-over points of a wovenfoundation or base” in entirety (Column 1:line20). These prior art donot provide a time and cost saving remedy provided by U.S. applicationSer. No. 13/185,073 Palmer-Rogers. In addition tests showed that solelyresizing of prior art ventilation area to a ¼″ (6 mm) size ofPalmer-Rogers micro hair-part does not work without the configurationand structure on Palmer-Rogers device in that the tensioned peripheryband of soft stretchable mesh fabric and the anti-skid tabs allow thefront hair wefts to be aligned snuggly against a wearer's foreheadwithout adhesives or clips. Two vertically positioned hair wefts areused to help form a component of the fixed micro hair part and are inclose proximity at a dominant forehead area. When the component of thefixed micro hair part is configured on a non-stretch or un-tensioned wigbase like that of prior art Palumbo et al. U.S. Pat. No. 4,606,359 theforehead area of the base protrudes and would require adhesives or clipsas a remedy. The tests also showed that when the fixed micro hair partis on a device that is an un-reinforced stretchable base like that ofMolinario U.S. Pat. No. 3,835,867, the base reclines away from theforehead and exposes a wearer's natural hair.

Despite the new remedies and advantages of the anti-skid system and thepermanent or fixed micro hair-part component of Palmer-Rogersapplication Ser. No. 13/185,073, a new component of an anti-stress, napehair section is warranted for the invention. It was discovered after thefiling of the application Ser. No. 13/185,073 that because the anti-skidsystem keeps the wig base extended over the extremity a wearer's napehair, when the wearer of the device is of short stature or has a shortneck, the hair wefts at the nape of the wig has a tendency to gettangled and miss-positioned by a wearer's clothing such as collars andscarves etc. In addition tests showed that when wefts at the nape areaare positioned horizontally across the neck back area, the base losesthe stretch capacity in that area. An anti-stress nape component isnecessitated in order to prevent stress on a wearer's head with movementof the neck back muscle, and to prevent friction on the hairs of thewearer's nape to prevent damage and hair loss in that area.

Related prior art devices have un-reinforced nape section that reclinesunless held in place by adhesives or clips and normally have hair weftspositioned horizontally at the nape section of wigs. Because regularhair wefts do not have the capacity to stretch, a snuggly fitted wigwith the normal horizontal positioned human hair wefts can become asource of tension and friction. Many prior art devices are directedtoward users who already have hair loss much attention has not beengiven to protecting a wearer's own hair. In today's culture it is commonpractice for women to wear wigs for added length and change of style andnot because of hair loss therefore it is important that their naturalhair be protected from damage.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Brief Summary of the Invention

The current patent application adds a new anti-stress nape component andmodifies the placement of an elastic support element on application Ser.No. 13/185,073 to provide a complete and effective wig device that ismade of lightweight stretchable mesh fabric with non-invasive, nonadhesive, non-metal or plastic components with a ridge-less interiorthat fits securely and comfortably to a wearer's and having thelightweight stretchable mesh base supported by a retention system thatkeeps it in place without the need for any attachments; adhesives,clips, sew-on connections or abrasive hard surfaces. The device also hasa fixed or permanent micro hair-part component with imitation scalppresentation.

With reference to the disclosed hair part component (120.1) of theoriginal application Ser. No. 13/185,073 with illustration in FIG. 2 oforiginal drawings, the term “micro open permanent hair part” is herebychanged in this present Application to “fixed micro hair part” in orderto provide better clarity since the word “open” can be construed as anactual cut out in the cap base of the wig. The “open” area is an actualdemarcation area that has no hair wefts. The process, arrangement ofcomponents and illustration remains the same as the originalapplication.

This new invention is directed for use by women particularly those ofAfrican-American descent in that the configuration of hair wefts in thefixed micro hair-part causes the crown area with the simulated hair-partsection to lay flat. A flat configuration would not work for hairpiecessuch as those for men. In addition the zigzag stitch-line element in thefixed micro hair part component simulates a thickened hair root. Whilethis limitation may preempt use of the concept in other fields it bestimitate the characteristic of women's hair and particularAfrican-American women hair. The hair part is relevant since most womenwearing their own natural hair in longer styles generally have a hairpart at the front that is either center or side oriented, prior artsthat exclude a hair part element from their invention, will not meet theobjective of providing a natural looking device in the manner of thisclaimed invention. While some prior art provide a crown area withventilation or implanted hair section that is big enough to allow awearer to select where to part the hair, when made of human hair it isextremely costly and difficult to find in stores.

During development of the claimed invention over 350 specimens weredesigned and tested. It was ascertained that the best mode to achieve ahuman hair wig with natural appearance at the lowest possible pricerequired a simulated hair-part that entailed strategic positioning ofhair wefts as seen in illustration on FIG. 2 drawing, and furtherminimizing time and cost via a zigzag stitch-line used to permanentlyconceal exposed final hair weft edges and utilizing the spikes of thezigzag stitch to seamlessly blend as a part of the hair root in thesimulated hair-part presentation. Each component of the claimed deviceworks cohesively for example the functionality of the component of afixed micro hair-part is co-dependent on the elements of the anti-skidsystem in that this reinforced periphery band has alternate stretchableand non stretchable areas that allows the hair wefts that form the fixedmicro hair part to be aligned snuggly and discreetly against a wearersforehead without adhesives or clips and in so doing the configurationprotects a wearer's hair form harmful retention components.

Objective of the Invention

The first and main objective for the invention is to provide a devicethat fits securely to the wearer's head without the use of adhesivesclips, rigid sharp edged ribbons or other objects that can harm thenatural hair. Recent news headlines highlighted the damage and hair-lossbeing experienced by women who are avid wearers of prior art devices.One renowned African-American supermodel was featured with severalinches of her front hairline being bald from alleged use of prior artlace front wigs with adhesive retention. This deficiency of prior artdevices that cause hair damage speaks to the need for this newinvention.

Second objective for the current invention is to improve availability ofhuman hair wigs by configuring a device that is uncomplicated andsuitable for mass production using regular materials and tools of theapparel industry in order to make readily available human hair wigs forpurchase through relevant retail outlets with no need to buy availablehair wefts then designing the product on a wearers head.

Third objective of the current invention is cost reduction by providinga device that is discreet and natural as possible that can bemanufactured in as little time as possible. With components that take afraction of the time it takes to produce prior art hairpieces ofcomparable appearance in that of the fixed micro hair part component.

Forth objective of the current invention is to provide a device thatdoes not require or depend on the length of a wearer's hair forfunctionality by providing a device that covers the all the wearer's ownnatural hair, the claimed invention can be used for hair at any stage ofgrowth or hair-loss. If needs be a wearer with longer hair may simplysecure their own hair in a chignon or braids to allow the softstretchable base to conformation to a natural shape. While women who areexperiencing advance hair loss can confidently wear this device becauseof the high self retention capacity provided by the anti-skid tabs.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF INVENTION Best Mode of Carrying out theInvention

The drawing in FIG. 1, illustrates the base of the current invention towhich human or synthetic hair is attached. The best mode to carry outthe new invention is a preferred embodiment with the followingcomponents and process:

The base is 10.1 a lightweight stretchable mesh fabric with a percentageof nylon and spandex. The antiskid reinforcement tabs 50.1 are made of astiff nylon netting fabric popularly known as crinoline or stiff tulle.

The center panel 20.1, which is wider at the front that stretcheslengthwise and two side panels 30.1 stretch downwards to adapt to theshape and size of the wearer's head.

The periphery is a band 80.1 made from a stretchable fabric of 85%percentage of nylon and 15% spandex. The band fabric is folded to form asmooth durable edge. The band is 3 inches (7.6 cm) wide. Thecircumference of the band is based on international hat sizes, forexample hat-size 7½ measures 23.5 inches (59.7 cm) and is regarded aslarge. The large would be a popular size, but the scope to manufacture avariety of sizes is one of the advantages of this new invention asopposed to prior arts that is one-size-fits-all foundation.

The opening at the ear section of the periphery band 90.1 is 1.5 inches(3.8 cm). The opening is reinforced with the stretchable fabric of 85%percentage of nylon and 15% spandex 100.1. The reinforcement fabric forthis ear section is folded to form a smooth durable edge that can reston the wearer's ear crease without irritation. The remaining openingeasily accommodates the ear. 100.2 a ¾ inch (1.9 cm) elastic memberabout 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) long with a soft textured surface is connectedto the inside of the cap base at least ¾ inch (1.9 cm) above the openingfor each ears. With the opening not being the entire width of the bandand the additional elastic support it allows continuous tension thathelps hold the soft structure of the base in place.

The ant-skid reinforcement tabs 50.1 are made from stiff nylon nettingfabric popularly known as crinoline or stiff tulle. The stiff net isdouble folded lengthwise and stitched on the outside layer of the basebelow the attached hair. Placing the tabs on the outer layer of the baseprevents the rough texture from coming in contact with the wearer's hairor scalp. The side and back reinforcement tabs are 2.5 inches (6.4 cm)long and ¾ inches (1.9 cm) wide. The front reinforcement tab 60.1 is 3″(7.62 cm) wide, 4″ (10.16 cm) long. The tabs are placed in a longitudeposition along the periphery band.

The front reinforcement tab 60.1 has a scalp colored fabric 70.1 thefabric stretchable fabric can be the same as the periphery band of thewig. This scalp colored overlay forms the imitation scalp at the crownand forehead area of the base.

In FIG. 2, 130.1 illustrate the stitch-line whereby multiple rows ofpre-made hair wefts are attached to the base. Wefts at the forehead andcrown are slanted towards the center of the forehead from both left andright direction 110.1. The slanted wefts are overlaid by another pieceof weft positioned lengthwise 120.1 to form a smooth uniformly narrowopening. The narrow opening or blank demarcation area at the foreheadand crown helps to form what is called a fixed micro hair part. This newfixed micro hair-part feature presents imitation scalp when hair isknotted or ventilated into the narrow opening or blank demarcation area140.1. The open or blank demarcation area for knotting is only ¼ inch (6mm) wide and 3″(7.62 cm) long but can vary in length. The narrow openingor blank demarcation area requires only two uniformed lines ofventilated hair in multiple strands along the edges of the exposed weftat the crown and forehead as illustrated

The process for completing 110.1 the fixed micro hair-part feature is asfollows; the wig is has hair wefts attached in regular hair growthpattern and at the crown and forehead area there is a left and a rightarray of hair wefts slanted towards a wearer's forehead and said arraysof hair wefts has a quarter inch (¼″ (6 mm) narrow demarcation areabetween said left and right arrays of hair weft and said demarcationarea has a vertical hair weft border and said hair weft border isconcealed by a uniformed line of implanted or knotted hair strandsfollowed by a dual function compressed zigzag stitch-line that securessaid line of implanted or knotted hair strands in a permanently fixedposition over edges of said hair weft border while by effecting asimulated thickened hair root that reduces manufacturing time and costby seamlessly blending with a second line of implanted or knotted hairstrands and present a natural looking hair-part with visible imitationscalp.

In FIG. 1 100.1 the elastic support across the width of the opening atthe ear to help size adjustment. It helps support the base and helpseliminate the need for retention devices such as clips, comb clips,hooks and adhesives along with the narrow anti-skid reinforcement tabsalong the periphery band with alternate stretch space between each tabcreates a flexible grip pattern of arrangement to allow a firm andsecure but comfortable fit that also eliminate the need for retentiondevices such as clips, comb clips, hooks and adhesives.

The reinforcement tab 60.1 at the forehead area overlaid by a singlepiece of scalp colored fabric 70.1 forms a slight peak when the flexibleareas on the sides retract. This helps to align the base to fit thecurvature of the natural hairline.

The current invention also presents a new layout for the nape section150.1. The anti-stress nape hair component has vertically positionedhair wefts with hair strands approximately three quarters of an inch(¾″19 mm) short. Hair wefts are positioned inwardly toward the center ofthe nape form left and right side of the head and are positioned so thathair strands overlap and conceal inner hair weft edges and form adual-function flat, textured layer of nape hair. The verticalpositioning of hair wefts help maintain flexibility of wig base andaccommodate movement of neck back muscles with reduced tension on awearer's head while reducing stress and friction on hairs at lower napesection of wig and said simulated nape hair component covers an areaapproximately (2″×4″ or 50 mm×100 mm) two inches high and four incheswide at lowest central neck back area on said wig.
